This is a Tuxedo Club Chair, designed by Davis Allen under the leadership of Gordon Bunshaft within SOM. The detailing is typical of Davis Allen's work, with an emphasis on perfectly sharp lines and corners. The chair has a highly polished stainless-steel base with long thin ribbon rubbing horizontally, and retains its original red fabric upholstery. SOM produced hundreds of their own furniture designs during the 1950s to 1980s, and this is a classic example.

The chair measures 32.25 inches in length and width, and is 25.75 inches high. The polished stainless-steel base is in good condition with some scuffs and scratches. The front left leg is slightly bent. We will bend it straight prior to shipping. The upholstery fabric shows some sun fading and discoloration, and there is a pull on one of the arms. Overall, this chair is in good vintage condition. Please see photos.

The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
